19" OR 20"?

I wanted to take a poll but couldn't figure out how... Anyway I wanted to see what people thought of 19" Vs. 20". What rim widths and offsets (Brembo or non Brembo)? What springs or coilovers you use and how much of a drop? Any rubbing? Pics would be great!!!

Between the 19" and 20" see what styles there are and compare the two to see what look you want. There are no real performance benefits, mostly looks.

I like big rims and it looks like I could fit 20's but I am afraid of rubbing both when I turn the wheel and when I hit a bump. I used to have a TT RX7 and 18's were fine but 19's had problems rubbing. I realize that 19's are fine because of the 2005's having them from the factory but didn't know about lowering the car with them and also didn't know anything at all about people's experience with 20's besides the fact that I've seen pictures and it looks good, IMO. If there is a slight performance loss with the 20's I don't mind as I tend to go a little more for show. The stock 18's are great but I have to go for a little more. I wish the SF Challenge rmc came in a 20"!!

I'd say 20's. You can never have enough! But, now that there are good tires choices for them. Why not go BIG? That was the only thing that used to stop me from getting big wheels. But, if you want DR's, you'll ave to stay 18 and smaller.
